Reverend Encourages Lending A Hand In King's Memory

The dream of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. lives on 50 years after his assassination and residents in Hopkinsville are honoring that legacy. A smaller crowd than normal showed for the march from Boys and Girls Club to Durrett Avenue Baptist Church because many headed directly to the Church to avoid the weather. Speaker and Moores Baptist Church Pastor, Reverend C.R. Miller used the story of Moses to share his message of hope.

   
He says you can't dictate how God answers prayers.

   

Miller told the over 100 attendees it is important to remember King's message of helping others.

   
He adds not everyone wants to stand up for something.

   

However, Reverend Miller says there are dangers in no action.

   
He says he knows the last few years have been difficult.

   

Miller and NAACP Chapter President, John Banks encouraged those in attendance to register to vote and then go to the polls. Banks says anyone is welcome to join the Hopkinsville-Christian County NAACP Chapter. The annual School Challenge, hosted by Tom Bell State Farm, was canceled this year because of the icy roadways, but Bell says it will be brought back next year.
